Neglect Of Proper Precautions.


lBy telegraph to tho Dispatch
CHICAGO, April GA Times special
from Venita, Indian Territory, refer
ring to the mine disaster briefly meu-
toned in last nights dispatches, says:
The body OF gas fired must have been
immense, and the torrent OF flames
forced from the mouth OF the slope
was over hundred feet in height and
illuminated the country like an nm
mense fash Of lightning. 1t was
followed with such conclusion
as to startlo every one for
miles around. and people in the
immediate vicinity were severely
shocked. The eneine-house and lifting
works, structure over O hundred feet
long and two-stories high, was blown
into splinters by the current driven out
of the slope, and in few minutes was
enyeloped in flames. From the char
acter OF the building and its being
literally saturated with oil, II was not
possible to save anything. There wcrs
six men in the mine at the moment Of
the explosion, which occurred at ten
minutes past o'clock. These men
were all killed. Their names are as fol-
lows: Miles Jarrett, Dave Jones,
Hugh Dooley, William Barnes, Charles
Parsons, and Bert French.
The most distressing part OF the acct
dent is the solicitation Of thirteen more.

WASHINGTON, April Ga petition
has been received by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day from
John b. Peck. general manager of the
South Carolina Railway Company, for
relief from the operations of the fourth
section Qong- and short-haul section)
of the Interstate commerce law. 1t
sets forth that the company is mem
Der of the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association, and it asks re-
lief for the reasons presented IN the
araument of Vice President Smith, of
the Louisville and Nashville Company.
A petition having a like purport has
been received from j. Y. Sage, general
manager of the Georgia Pacific Rail
way Company. In addition to the fact
of the environment and intersection of
It's territory by the water lines, 1t sets
forth that its line for one hundred miles
is confined within the boundaries OF the
Coosa. Catawba, and Black Warrior coal
fields. The section is devoid OF agri-
cultural resources, and is necessarily
dependent upon the petitioner for a
distribution OF its mineral and coal pro-
ducts. This section is sparseiy set
tied and its local consumption is lin
tied. 1t is important, therefore, that
an output sufficient to justify large
operations must find its market at
more distant points, and that facilities
lie given for placing the product OF the
mines at such markets as Memphis,
New Orleans, Mobile, Galveston, Bruins
wick. Savannah, Charleston, Augusta,
Macon, Montgomery, etc. 10 many
of these points coal is transported III
the cheapest possible manner from
mines located in Ohio, pennsylvania
end Maryland, where the local consump-
tion is very great. Authority IS there
fore asked to give rates on the product OF
these mines which will enable them
70 compete with more distant mines. In
General. they ask to he relieved OF the
operation of the long and short-haui
section.
The commissioners were III confer
ence two hours or more this forenoon
over a petition for the suspension OF
The long and short-haul provisions, but
took recess without having reached a
conclusion. At the afternoon session
The commission made the following
ruling: o.
